UNESCO Fever

Cienfuegos...
A UNESCO town with lots of colonial buildings by the water, interesting but nothing amazing.

Just one of a number of colonial buildings


Trinidad...
A UNESCO town with lots of colonial buildings by the water, a little bit more interesting than Cienfuegos as they had lots of sugar cane fields and mountains to explore nearby.

We headed off to Topes de Collantes for a walk through the mountains were coffee is grown and a swim at the waterfalls.

Waterfall time!


Then it was off to Valle de los Ingenios to check out a 44metre tower where slaves were watched from in the early 1800's and were shot at if they tried to escape...there were nice views of the sugar cane fields from there.


The view looking up from half way up the tower
